Alec sighed as he sipped on his fourth coffee and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet. He downed the lukewarm liquid as his eyes ran over the files open on his desk. Alec worked for one of the biggest law firms in New York, and was one of their top lawyers, having never lost a case. As he was going over the files again, he grabbed a highlighter and started marking important sections. His client had been accused of something, they had clearly not done as there were multiple witness statements along with pictures and security footage that placed the man in another part of town when the crime was committed. Alec usually dealt with more serious cases and had been the reason a lot of criminals were now behind bars, but this man was a friend of Alec’s boss and the man put Alec on the case as a favour to his friend. Alec didn’t necessarily mind, he’d still do his best for the man, he just couldn’t quite figure out why no one was believing the evidence that they obviously had the wrong guy.
A small smile crossed Alec’s face when his phone pinged on the desk next to him and he saw his husband’s name. Alec had been married for seven years, and he always felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw or heard from his husband. Alec picked up his phone to look at the message and his heart beat happily in his chest. Magnus had sent a picture of their son covered in glitter.
